Here when you need us xx

Thank you for your reply.My GP has prescribed me Diazepam to help with my anxiety. I  am in shock because all my  smear tests which I had regularly were negative.

I never had a positive smear . I went to and from doctors for a very long time with symptoms before I finally had a biopsy and a diagnosis. A year today which is crazy !  I understand you don’t want to say much ar the moment but happy to share my story or listen to you when ready xx

Thank you so much. I am just too shaken at the moment to talk very much. I would love to engage with you soon.xx

Hi Philipa and welcome to our group.

We will be ready when you want to talk-no pressure to speak unless you want to. A cancer diagnosis can be very overwhelming, so take as much time as you need.

Thank you for your reply.Just receiving replies makes me feel less alone. I  already have a problem with anxiety, I am exhausted with the stress of it all.I am a retired nurse so under no illusions of what I have to face.My GP has prescribed me some Valium which helps otherwise I just can't sleep.I really appreciate your reply.xx

I have just woken up having fallen asleep on the settee. The valium and Co codamol finally helped me relax. Wrapped up in dressing gown I am resting on top of the bed  now. Not like me to go in to trivial detail like this. All my smear test have been normal. Medication I took for cholesterol causes some abdominal discomfort and I think masked the symptoms. Plus tingling in legs attributed to back problem for which I was having physio. 

I hope things are going well for you. I really appreciate you reaching out to me.xx

Bless you glad you finally got some rest . I am in a really good place now thankyou and look back on the last year thinking how surreal it was x

I am glad you are in a really good place now. 

I have just opened up to my closet friend she will come to my appointments when she can.
